Joe Mazzulla oversees the renowned Boston Celtics, a team with an impressive record of 17 NBA Finals victories, tying with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most championships.

As a devoted City fan, Mazzulla spent the weekend in Manchester, witnessing both the match and training sessions of the Treble-winning team. Following his attendance at the Chelsea game, he had the opportunity to meet with fellow coach Pep Guardiola, where they exchanged jerseys.

During his visit, Mazzulla observed the team’s preparations for their upcoming Premier League clasҺ against Brentford, engaging in conversations with players before and after the training session.

Under Mazzulla’s leadership, the Celtics currently lead the Eastern Conference and the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division this season. They hold the top record for both defense and offense in the NBA. In a noteworthy achievement, Mazzulla reached his 100th win in just his second year with the Celtics, following a decisive 136-86 victory over the Brooklyn Nets last Wednesday.

With an overall record of 100-37, Mazzulla now stands at the pinnacle of NBA coaching records for winning percentage (.730) among coaches with 100 wins. The recent victory marked the team’s second 50-point win this season and the fifth in their history, propelling them to their best start since 2008 at 43-12.

Mazzulla’s brief visit to the UK was part of a whirlwind tour during a brеɑk in his NBA schedule, coinciding with the All-Star weekend. The team at Manchester City enjoyed having him with them and extends their best wishes for the remainder of the NBA season.
